Google Authenticator Alternative

Hello. As the title says, do you know some Authenticator alternatives? I've found out Aegis and Bitwarden authenticators so far, even if they're not European alternatives, they're still FOSS though.

I'd like to know what your opinion?

I also recommend Aegis, I've been using it for years now, also available in F-Droid

Yes +1 for Aegis! They have icon packs too to make the entries stand out more.

We use open source Aegis:

i can recommend aegis just like most people. bitwarden is a really awsome password manager, but you dont want to store the 2fa key there as well.

+1 for Bitwarden

If you're into self-hosting, you can host the server yourself using Vaultwarden and get all the premium features for free. (make sure you implement a backup solution, ensuring that you don't lose your DB if your server dies is up to you)

FreeOTP+ in F-Droid. Very happy with it.

I use Ente Auth, open source 2FA authenticator, with E2EE backup (which makes it nicely multi -device useable)

Yubico from Sweden is a great alternative if the physical aspect doesn't bother you.

Ente Auth and it's simple and straight. Foss.

I don't get it with these. If it's FOSS why would the country of origin matter? All source is available and anyone can freely fork it? You don't even pay anything in the first place so not like boycotting these types of projects has any effect?

The thing is... would you trust a software that is developed in russia (without a full code audit)? I think at the moment its the same with anything coming from the US.

Shayeta@feddit.org · 1 pts · 1y (3 replies)

If you can't audit the code then it's closed source and not FOSS.

the_wiz@feddit.org · 3 pts · 1y (2 replies)

That is not what i meant, what i wanted to say is: "Would you trust software from Russia without having completely audited the code?".

Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 1y

If people I do trust are saying they have checked the code and it's good, then yeah.

Shayeta@feddit.org · 1 pts · 1y

I basically never audit ANY software I use. I trust those in communities I frequent that say they have.

2FAS Auth works for 2FA

Foss and Amazing.

Nice icons, one touch copy and paste and easy export from Google Auth.

OTP Auth works for me.

B0rax@feddit.org · 2 pts · 1y

I used Raivo OTP for a while. It is open source.
